Writer in Residence Book Launch

Wednesday 4 November 2009

Caroline Chisholm School

11am

After an intensive 16 session course, it is with enormous pride that we announce the launch of 42 magnificent 'published' books by students at Caroline Chisholm Junior Campus here in Canberra.

These books have turned out beyond my wildest dreams. Children aged between 6 and 12 created, wrote, illustrated, designed and published their books. They also learned about ISBNs, barcodes, publishing information and library data, and even learned how to promote, market and distribute their work.

The launch will feature students, parents and representatives from the Education Department, Children's Book Council of Australia, Early Education Australia, as well as media presence.

I am in awe of these children. Congratulations to everyone!
